I have been to this pub about ten times this year being local to me.Always found a friendly welcome and no wait to be served.Lunchtime.Food (cold snacks) are served.
Four Young's beers on the pumps on my last visit 29 12 11.Young's,Young's Special,Young's Winter Warmer and Ellen's Ale,to be replaced by tribute when the barrel runs out so I am told.
A visit is strongly recommended if you like a small friendly pub in a quiet location.

The Two Doves is a very nice little village pub even though it’s on a busy road. There is a selection of good ales and home made snack sandwiches on the bar, sold for under 2 pounds. The beers on tap are competitively priced even for a small free house. Unfortunately there’s no parking apart from on the road outside however the amazingly well kept garden at the rear makes up for any short comings, of which there are very few.
There's a great atmosphere in the pub and land lady is always in the bar talking to local’s. We sat in the garden and it was as if you were sitting in someone’s back garden at home. It is very well kept and always clean.
Overall I would recommend anyone to visit this pub.

Only been here/ther twice. Once in the very pleasant rear conservatory which is full of ambient light, the 2nd last October in the unbelievably long rear garden which as a previouys report says is very well tended. Supping the very well tended Sharps Cornish Coaster (9/10) under the gazebo on a really hot (for time of year) lazy Sunday afternoon was so good! I just cant understand why the bar lady (mousy blonde one) was so unfriendly and inhospitable!!! As per that pubspy bloke in the news shopper papar, this place is reknown for mistrusting (and utterly miserable) locals. That bar woman was horrible! Otherwise well worth a visit - only just off the main road. (Stick the Youngs crap).

Yes, it is a superb pub. It also has a very attractive beer garden at the back, an actual (and well tended) garden, not just a bit of space with some tables and chairs.

This has got to be the best traditional pub for miles. Friendly staff, simple food and really well-kept ale. I like Youngs beer , but the St Austell Tribute is so wonderful here that I have never had anything else in the last two years! There is always a crowd of good-natured regulars, and the garden is a big draw in the summer. The perfect pub?
